Valerie Reinhardt wasn't finding much in the way of sap when she went out to check the buckets on Sunday morning at Lake Metroparks Farmpark. She said they collected quite a bit on Saturday because the sunshine warmed things up a bit and had the sap running. Sunday was frigid and snowy and all she found was a bit of frozen sap in the bottom of each bucket.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Northeast Ohio residents need to hang on ... relief from the bitterly cold weather is on the horizon.

But there still are some tough days in between.

It begins this morning. It's going to be a very cold start: temperatures were in the single digits and wind chills were well below zero. The high will reach only 15 degrees — 27 degrees below normal. The silver lining is a lack of snow. After 2.5 inches fell in Cleveland on Sunday, there is only a slight chance of snow this morning and it is expected to be mostly sunny by the afternoon.

It will remain very cold overnight with a low of 3 degrees and Tuesday will be frigid with a high of 18. There is a slight chance of snow showers Tuesday night.

And then it appears the region will turn a corner.

The high on Wednesday will be 26, it will reach 33 on Thursday, and by Friday it will be 42. Actually, that's still 1 degree below the normal high for the date of 43 degrees, but after this winter, Northeast Ohio residents shouldn't gripe too much.

Monday A slight chance of snow showers between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Mostly sunny with a high near 15. Wind chill values as low as -9. North wind 8 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.

Tuesday: A chance of snow, mainly after 1 p.m. Mostly cloudy with a high near 18. Wind chill values as low as -7. South wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. A slight chance of snow showers Tuesday night. Cloudy with a low around 14. Calm wind becoming northeast 5 to 7 mph in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.
